The
value of our story to Havant, Hayling Island, Emsworth, Portsmouth,
Chichester, Hampshire, Sussex, the South of England and Germany; connections
to tourism, vacations and holidays.
The connection with million selling books; Richard Bach's “The Bridge
Across Forever” and Dr Brian Weiss' "Only Love is Real".

The
following is an outline of the reasoning behind the contention, supported
by experienced business men and women (mentioned in more detail below),
among others, that the story of Lorelei and I and the events during
this lifetime of mine, are of considerable benefit to the tourism
industry in both Britain and Germany.

This will be expanded upon as extra information is gathered for a
business plan I am writing. Depending on events in the meantime that
business plan may well be published on this Web Site in due course.

Our
story is spread over a diary of a million words or more, running from
the early 1990s. It comprises a large number of events, totaling a
few hundred by now and still continuing, in the spiritual, non-physical,
field, most of which took place in the South of England, though several
in Essex and, more recently, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

The originality of our story, the sheer number of events and the scores
of people involved, local and elsewhere, make our story different
from any other. That my Lorelei is the Lorelei, as of the German Legend,
even if nothing like it is portrayed, at least outside Germany, is
in addition to that.

There
are only half a dozen books on Soulmates in the world. Half of those
have the relationship wrong. In contrast, Richard Bach in “The Bridge
Across Forever”, Dr Brian Weiss in “Only Love is Real” and I have
it right.

The
type of relationship commonly termed “Soulmates” is simply people
who have an affinity, liking for each other. The real Soulmate relationship
is on a much higher level, higher plain.

Richard
Bach’s book “The Bridge Across Forever” and Dr Brian Weiss’ “Only
Love is Real” were both million sellers. Though my book is in a similar
vein, a love through many lives with the emphasis on the life I am
currently, it is very different with the added enhancement of my Soulmate,
Lorelei, being the person behind a Legend in another lifetime.

The
events of the story took place in many locations from Hampshire to
Buckinghamshire, Dorset to Essex, and numerous locations between.
Apart from advertising the South of England the location of the events
effectively comprise a potential literary tour.

Dr
Jur Bernt Atenstaedt, Deputy Director General of the German British
Chamber said he thought our story would benefit Tourism in both Britain
and the United States.

The
former Chief Executive of South East Hampshire Chamber of Commerce
and Industry believes it is worth a ten percent, or more, increase
on local tourism.

Business
Link Wessex was kind enough to give me two and three-quarter hours
with two consultants. There joint view was to agree that our story
was indeed commercially valuable, was a “rock on an edge” (as I believed)
and also that promoting my new career, in that sense, should go before
rebuilding my engineering career.

A
Hampshire County Council Economic Development Officer could also see
the commercial side, value, of our story, thought that I only needed
one or two reasonable instances of publicity for it to take off and
that I would progress past the present “impasse” one way or another.

That
impasse is the reason for the proliferation of my Web Sites.

The
reasoning behind the figures arrived at has been developed and revised
over a considerable period. These will go into the Business Plan and
will be expanded on this Web Site in due course.

Essentially,
percentages from very small to a little above ten percent (mostly
the former) were assigned to affected areas from Dorset in England
to the Middle Rhine in Germany, and applied to existing tourism spend
in those regions. That came to the order of £200 million to
£300 millions per annum.

This
does not include travel to and from, nor an inevitable spin off industry.
The value to tourism thus rises to between £500 million and
£700 million per annum.

I
have yet to find anyone who contests those figures, quite the reverse.

There
are additional positive business arguments, those are in the process
of being brought together, as well as further researched.
